Why do large companies offer web EDI?
As a supplier, the chances are quite high that you will someday receive a request from a large customer that orders should be placed in a web portal where you sign in to see what the order contains. In the web portal, you send back an order response, announce when the goods are sent and send the invoice.
INTEGRATION OR NOT
The absolutely easiest way of handling communications is by having it sent directly between the customer's and the supplier's ERP system, rather than have it take the way through a web portal. This is usually entirely possible, but a quicker solution that is often used is a web portal to enable as many of the suppliers as possible, even those who are not digitized sufficiently, to communicate with the customer through EDI. As an additional step, you as a supplier can choose to integrate EDI with your business system.If your ERP system lacks the preparation required or you consider it too costly to adapt for EDI communication, you can use Viaduct's solution Edionet™, where you can easily manage the EDI for all of your customers in a web portal. Thus, you can avoid the requirement to log in to different customer-unique portals with various logins and interfaces. All business documents are handled and thus stored in the same service for easier handling of the order flow and export of history, etc.
